Lake Atitlan Guatemala Travel Blog

San Pedro and the rest of the lake is filled with travelers from Guatemala as well as from around the world, all here to celebrate Semana Santa. Look for parades, bands and “flower carpets” in the main part of town, such as el centro (up the hill) in San Pedro.

Across the lake, Circus Bar, Cafe Atlantis and Restaurante Casablanca have Semana Santa specials, with live entertainment at Circus Bar and Atlantis.

Parties, Bands, DJs in San Pedro

Lots of parties, too. Tonight there’s live music at Zoola and Alegre Pub. El Barrio Bar’s “Fiesta Latina” kicks off with a band tonight and features live music or a DJ through the rest of the week. Lots of action at the new Paul’s Gaff, too.

In the zona viva, people are partying in the street from noon until late. For something different, grab a liter of draft Gallo beer in front of Johanna’s Mini-Mercado.

If you are here for Easter Sunday, head over to Smokin’ Joes’ BBQ at the pool on the way to the Santiago dock.

Soccer fans in San Pedro will converge on at Alegre Pub, San Pedro la Laguna”s original sports bar, day in and day out starting June 12, for FIFA’s World Cup games.

No, Alegre Pub is not showing Terry Gilliam’s film Brazil every night in June — Alegre Pub is showing the World Cup games.

During each game, you get a free beer when you buy a Bacon and Cheeseburger. A wide variety of other drink and food specials will make this the top place to watch the World Cup at Lake Atitlan as well as the lovely town of San Pedro la Laguna. The wraparound arrangement of big ass TVs is another good reason to watch the games at Alegre. Great beer prices, even on imported beer, is another.
